When I plug in my beats on my phon, I turn the volum all the way up and I can barley here the musick in my beats.!
(Any suggestions)
 
Solution
what phone which beats?

if the amplifier on the phone is too weak or if the beats draw too much power the result is going to be max volume on one end but you can barely hear anything on the headphone end.

of course beats audio being the crap company they are doesnt want to list headphone specs however from what i've read they should be between 20-30ohm resistance which should be more than capable of being driven by ipods and most smartphones.

for the record i use some ath-m50s with a 35 ohm resistance (which means they require more power to drive than beats) and they work fine with an ipod classic or android smartphone.

as far as a solution if its just a weak amp in your phone or if you have too much headphones for the phone...

a fiio portable amplifier may work.

yea but anything above 40 ohms resistance you need an external amp or you could burn your phone or apply device amps out
 
yes and where did i say otherwise nick?

my headphones are 35ohm not 40+

i suggested using a fiio external amplifier already.
